Body-Worn Cameras |
Fountain, CO, Police Look to Switch Body-Worn Camera System to One That's Easier for Officers
The Fountain, Colorado, Police Department (FPD) is considering changing its body-worn camera system, after recently discovering that their footage was not always titled. The FPD officers are required to identify their videos with the time, place, and description of an incident, which is often very time-consuming. The FPD will follow Colorado Springs Police Department’s example of allowing officers to input data on scene. In addition, the FPD lost about 15,000 videos in the first six months of their program due to their strict retention schedule, so the department has made its retention period indefinite.

In addition, the Community-Police Advisory Board has developed first-ever minimum statewide standards on police use of force/deadly force and office recruitment. More than 100 police agencies have applied thus far for this state certification.

“Textalyzer” Technology Takes Aim at Distracted Drivers
The breathalyzer could be getting a companion in the future: the textalyzer, a device that could check to see if a driver's phone was in use in the moments prior to or during a car accident. According to the proposal, law enforcement would be able to electronically scan the driver’s phone to see if he or she was distracted by the device, without receiving access to photos, messages, contacts and other private data. If a driver does not comply, the driver could risk losing his or her license. The technology is in development and would allow officers to detect Smartphone usage while still protecting the privacy of the user.

Congressman Sees Broader Role for DHS in State and Local Cyber Efforts
The State and Local Cyber Protection Act in 2015, if passed, would require the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center to help state and local agencies identify system vulnerabilities and possible protections, provide technical assistance to deploy continuous diagnostic and mitigation services, and offer training to their personnel. The bill was passed by the House in December 2015 but has not passed the Senate.
The article is available at https://gcn.com/articles/2016/04/13/hurd-dhs-sl-cyber.aspx.
